1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Cholestasis is common in multiple clinical circumstances. The NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway has been demonstrated to play an important role in liver injury and fibrosis induced by cholestasis. We previously proved that MCC950, a selective NLRP3 inhibitor, alleviates liver fibrosis and injury in experimental liver cholestasis induced by bile-duct ligation (BDL) in mice. Herein, we investigate the role of calcipotriol, a potent vitamin D receptor agonist, in experimental liver cholestasis, test its therapeutic efficacy, and explore its potential protective mechanism. C57BL/6 mice were made to undergo BDL or fed the 0.1% 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine (DDC) diet to establish two classic cholestatic models. Calcipotriol was administered intraperitoneally to these mice daily. Serum makers of liver damage and integrity, liver histological changes, levels of liver pro-fibrotic markers, bile acid synthetases and transporters were measured
